Fun Things to Do

Academics are important, but every student also needs to relax and blow off steam. How about taking advantage of all that Ann Arbor has to offer?

Like Knit Wits (knitting for fun and charity), rock climbing, ice skating, eating yummy organic food, attending concerts (you can even usher and get in for free!), canoeing, seeing the stars, visiting museums, playing sports, dancing, movies, laser tag, bowling, swimming, salsa dancing, cuddling up next to a fire, shooting pool in the Michigan Union, etc.
